Psalm 139: 16b. And in your book they all were written the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them.
Have you ever given a second thought to this verse, if not, you better, because as you will read through the story of my life, you will be left with no shadow of doubt about the truth that the verse brings out.
I am Manivarnan Chinnathambi, born and brought up till the age of six in a slum area called Madras Colony, which lies just adjustment to the railway station in Dehra Dun.
My father who left home 10 years ago land has never returned since then, was a rag picker and my mother also did the same thing of rummaging through the garbages and waster in the city to eke out a living. Even I would have followed the same profession, but had it not been God who in His grace had an altogether different plan for me.
At the age of six I was brought to Prathyasha Bal Bhavan, it is a children’s Home run by Mr. John Varghese, where under privileged children like me get a second chance in life. In P.B.B., I came to know the Lord Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour through my experiences with the Lord. I was able to get education in one of the best Christian English Medium School of Dehra Dun. Further more God was faithful to me throughout my schooling and continues to be, even today!
After finishing School, the question for my future was still hanging in the air, when God provided a way. Prathyasha Bal Bhavan and kinder__________ (a German Organization) both agreed to support my medical coaching as well as for the expenses to be included in the future regarding my studies.

Currently I am doing B.Sc. Nursing in second year in Christian Medical College (Ludhiana) and still the Lord never ceases to amaze me even today.  

"He lifted me up from the miry clay,
And He's bannered over me his love"

This is absolutely when I reflect back on my life............
It is my privilege to write out my Testimony for the Institution that has made me what I am today. Many a thanks to the Man behind the dreams--Mr. John Varghese. And his ever helpful wife -Mrs..Deepa John.. I was born on the 1st April 1985 in Delhi. My parents were overjoyed at my birth as the Astrologer they consulted had told them that I was a boon to the family and that I would bring about great Name and Fame to to the family. And that one day I would be great Advocate..Unfortunately just after 19 days of by birth my father was accidentally involved in an road accident wherein a school boy was severely injured and as a result my father too had to go to jail. And then started the worst part of our lives, my father was introduced to the drugs and since then drugs became his greatest friend..(Which also latter became the reason for his early death) and then followed days of fights, drunkenness and the joys and happiness of the family were just a story of the past for us..

Time went and I grew up..All the dreams of me being educated were just gone..Leave alone being a great advocate.. The financial status was just pathetic..I was literally on the road playing a small part in earning the daily bread of the family....every dreams shattered..Every hopes vanished..

It was at this point that Uncle John came to know about me and decided to open a children's home and I along with my cousin formed the first students of Prathyasha Bal Bhawan ..It was here that I came to know about the Lord and His eternal love..
I guess I can say that I have seen the wonderful and magnificent works of the Lord here at PBB right from the beginning ans still see him at work ...I decided to accept the Lord as the Master of my life and took baptism,, Iam happy that I was taken away from the terrible crutches of drugs at such a tender age. Since then I have seen PBB grow, stand many a storms and still carry the chosen children of God with it...Today I can see dreams..Live hopefully because I know that now I have a future. A bright future. Today am working with HCL Tech and also pursuing my B.com (iii) from the Delhi University. And look forward to an even brighter future and be of service to the Lord Almighty....
It is true that this institution is as true as it's name giving Hope to the people living without Hope...an Eternal Hope...... Thanks Uncle and u Aunty for the wonderful things that u have done for me right from the beginning ..I today realize that what ever I am small or big it is just because of the Lord but it is through you. I am really thankful and grateful to you for everything.... and am real sorry for the numerous times that I have fought with you ,,hurt you please forgive me. Even while writing this testimony I do remember those times when you and Wilson uncle cared for me and Ravi.. Washed us clothed us. Cooked for us. I may never be able to repay you for those days but would like to say a hearfelt THANKS.. please pray for me and my family as well..

Thanks.

I am Lakshmi. I lost my father when I was about three years old. My mother is a rag picker who was arrested and beaten up by the police many times. I came to the Hope Children’s Home when I was six years old.  Today I am 25 years old.

Through God’s providence, I was sent to a good Christian and English medium School and completed my 10 + 2 from the said school. Even I did not know what is going to be next. But our Uncle and Aunty explained to me about various courses. I was encouraged to pursue with Bachelors of Physiotherapy.

Today, after completing four years of study, I am working in a Christian Institution as a physiotherapist. Please pray for me.

I received Jesus Christ as my personal savior and took baptism at Covenant Reformed Presbyterian Church.  I am the only one from my family received education and came to the Lord.

Praise the Lord.

Yours daughter in Him,

Lakshmi Naidu.
